RNF11 at the Crossroads of Protein Ubiquitination
biomolecules Review RNF11 at the Crossroads of Protein Ubiquitination Anna Mattioni, Luisa Castagnoli and Elena Santonico * Department of Biology, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Via della ricerca scientifica, 00133 Rome, Italy; [email protected] (A.M.); [email protected] (L.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 September 2020; Accepted: 8 November 2020; Published: 11 November 2020 Abstract: RNF11 (Ring Finger Protein 11) is a 154 amino-acid long protein that contains a RING-H2 domain, whose sequence has remained substantially unchanged throughout vertebrate evolution. RNF11 has drawn attention as a modulator of protein degradation by HECT E3 ligases. Indeed, the large number of substrates that are regulated by HECT ligases, such as ITCH, SMURF1/2, WWP1/2, and NEDD4, and their role in turning off the signaling by ubiquitin-mediated degradation, candidates RNF11 as the master regulator of a plethora of signaling pathways. Starting from the analysis of the primary sequence motifs and from the list of RNF11 protein partners, we summarize the evidence implicating RNF11 as an important player in modulating ubiquitin-regulated processes that are involved in transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), and Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) signaling pathways. This connection appears to be particularly significant, since RNF11 is overexpressed in several tumors, even though its role as tumor growth inhibitor or promoter is still controversial. The review highlights the different facets and peculiarities of this unconventional small RING-E3 ligase and its implication in tumorigenesis, invasion, neuroinflammation, and cancer metastasis. Keywords: Ring Finger Protein 11; HECT ligases; ubiquitination 1.

Mammalian Eps15 Homology Domain 1 Potentiates Angiogenesis of Non
Wang et al. Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research (2019) 38:174 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13046-019-1162-7 RESEARCH Open Access Mammalian Eps15 homology domain 1 potentiates angiogenesis of non-small cell lung cancer by regulating β2AR signaling Ting Wang1†, Ying Xing1†, Qingwei Meng2, Hailing Lu1, Wei Liu1, Shi Yan1, Yang Song3, Xinyuan Xu1, Jian Huang1, Yue Cui1, Dexin Jia1 and Li Cai1* Abstract Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a devastating disease with a heterogeneous prognosis, and the molecular mechanisms underlying tumor progression remain elusive. Mammalian Eps15 homology domain 1 (EHD1) plays a promotive role in tumor progression, but its role in cancer angiogenesis remains unknown. This study thus explored the role of EHD1 in angiogenesis in NSCLC. Methods: The changes in angiogenesis were evaluated through human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation, migration and tube formation assays. The impact of EHD1 on β2-adrenoceptor (β2AR) signaling was evaluated by Western blotting, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis, and enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The interaction between EHD1 and β2AR was confirmed by immunofluorescence (IF) and coimmunoprecipitation (Co-IP) experiments, and confocal microscopy immunofluorescence studies revealed that β2AR colocalized with the recycling endosome marker Rab11, which indicated β2AR endocytosis. Xenograft tumor models were used to investigate the role of EHD1 in NSCLC tumor growth. Results: The microarray analysis revealed that EHD1 was significantly correlated with tumor angiogenesis, and loss- and gain-of-function experiments demonstrated that EHD1 potentiates HUVEC proliferation, migration and tube formation. EHD1 knockdown inhibited β2AR signaling activity, and EHD1 upregulation promoted vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and β2AR expression.

Nieber et al. BMC Developmental Biology 2013, 13:36 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-213X/13/36 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access NumbL is essential for Xenopus primary neurogenesis Frank Nieber1,2, Marie Hedderich1,2, Olaf Jahn2,3, Tomas Pieler1,2 and Kristine A Henningfeld1,2* Abstract Background: Members of the vertebrate Numb family of cell fate determinants serve multiple functions throughout early embryogenesis, including an essential role in the development of the nervous system. The Numb proteins interact with various partner proteins and correspondingly participate in multiple cellular activities, including inhibition of the Notch pathway. Results: Here, we describe the expression characteristics of Numb and Numblike (NumbL) during Xenopus development and characterize the function of NumbL during primary neurogenesis. NumbL, in contrast to Numb,is expressed in the territories of primary neurogenesis and is positively regulated by the Neurogenin family of proneural transcription factors. Knockdown of NumbL afforded a complete loss of primary neurons and did not lead to an increase in Notch signaling in the open neural plate. Furthermore, we provide evidence that interaction of NumbL with the AP-2 complex is required for NumbL function during primary neurogenesis. Conclusion: We demonstrate an essential role of NumbL during Xenopus primary neurogenesis and provide evidence for a Notch-independent function of NumbL in this context. Keywords: Numb, Notch, Primary neurogenesis, Neurogenin, Neuronal differentiation, Xenopus Background In vertebrates, there are two closely related genes that Numb type proteins define an evolutionary conserved are homologues of Drosophila Numb, namely Numb and class of adaptor proteins that have been implicated in a Numblike (NumbL) [9-11].

Single-Cell Atlas of the First Intra-Mammalian

Newmark 2,3,4 & Matthew Berriman 1 1234567890():,; Over 250 million people suffer from schistosomiasis, a tropical disease caused by parasitic flatworms known as schistosomes. Humans become infected by free-swimming, water-borne larvae, which penetrate the skin. The earliest intra-mammalian stage, called the schistoso- mulum, undergoes a series of developmental transitions. These changes are critical for the parasite to adapt to its new environment as it navigates through host tissues to reach its niche, where it will grow to reproductive maturity. Unravelling the mechanisms that drive intra-mammalian development requires knowledge of the spatial organisation and tran- scriptional dynamics of different cell types that comprise the schistomulum body. To fill these important knowledge gaps, we perform single-cell RNA sequencing on two-day old schis- tosomula of Schistosoma mansoni. We identify likely gene expression profiles for muscle, nervous system, tegument, oesophageal gland, parenchymal/primordial gut cells, and stem cells. In addition, we validate cell markers for all these clusters by in situ hybridisation in schistosomula and adult parasites. Taken together, this study provides a comprehensive cell- type atlas for the early intra-mammalian stage of this devastating metazoan parasite.

Plasmalemma clathrin-coated 33 structures range from unitary domed assemblies to eXpansive planar constructions with 34 internal or flanking invaginated buds. Precisely how these morphologically-distinct coats 35 are formed, and whether all are functionally equivalent for selective cargo internalization is 36 still disputed. We have disrupted the genes encoding a set of early arriving clathrin-coat 37 constituents, FCHO1 and FCHO2, in HeLa cells. Endocytic coats do not disappear in this 38 genetic background; rather clustered planar lattices predominate and endocytosis slows, 39 but does not cease. The central linker of FCHO proteins acts as an allosteric regulator of the 40 prime endocytic adaptor, AP-2.

Here we uncover a synthetic genetic interaction between C. elegans Accepted: Jun 29, 2016 Fcho1 (FCHO-1) and Eps15 (EHS-1), suggesting that they function in a parallel and potentially redundant manner. Consistent with this idea, we find that the FCHO-1 EFC/F-BAR domain and the EHS-1 EH domains exhibit highly similar membrane-binding and -bending characteristics in vitro. Furthermore, we demonstrate a critical role for EHS-1 when FCHO-1 membrane-binding and -bending activity is specifically eliminated in vivo. Taken together, our data highlight Eps15 as an important membrane-remodeling factor, which acts in a partially redundant manner with Fcho proteins during the earliest stages of clathrin-mediated endocytosis. INTRODUCTION How particular subdomains of the plasma membrane are selected large set of protein cofactors, several of which can bind and alter for clathrin-mediated endocytosis remains elusive.
